Chapter 5: This Alpha, Truly Difficult to Serve
1007 Words
Adam's head lifted reflexively upon hearing that name.
But when he raised his head, the TV had already switched to the host's face.
He casually glanced and then looked away.
He only saw a silhouette of Aiden, but paid no mind.
Suddenly, he remembered something for tomorrow and asked, "Will the design director transferred from the branch be coming tomorrow?"
Daniel smiled, "Adam, yes, she will. This design director joined Roscoe Group's branch three years ago. With her unique designs, she swiftly rose to become the branch's design director. Her strength is quite remarkable. Taking over Demi's work this time will put your mind at ease."
Adam nodded, his handsome face showing no emotional fluctuations.
Roscoe Group operates in various industries.
But Adam had always been fixated on design.
A heartwarming scene flashed through his mind.
"Alina, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"Big brother Adam, does Alina look pretty in this princess dress?" The little girl got up, smiling sweetly as she twirled in front of him, her beautiful princess dress fluttering, making her rosy cheeks even more charming.
"Beautiful!"
"That's right, Alina wants to learn fashion design in the future. Anyone who can design such beautiful clothes must be amazing. Alina wants to learn too, and make lots and lots of princess dresses for herself." The girl's clear eyes were filled with hope.
At that time, looking at that innocent smile, he felt so happy and satisfied.
But when he thought of that stormy night, regret and self-blame almost tore him apart.
He quickly picked up his glass and drank it all in one go, but it didn't dispel the restlessness in his heart.
He took a deep breath, his tall figure suddenly getting up and walking out the door.
His slender figure was shrouded in deep sorrow.
Daniel watched the TV for a while, only now starting to eat. He was thinking of advising the injured Adam to drink less alcohol.
Before he could even put a piece of beef into his mouth, he looked at Adam's departing figure. He closed his eyes resignedly. This Alpha, truly difficult to serve!
He stuffed the beef into his mouth, at least having a piece of beef would make him feel a bit full.
He grabbed the car keys on the table and followed Adam out.
In a high-end restaurant in Jiang City!
In the spacious private room, crisp clinking of glasses could be heard.
"Cheers!" Fiona shouted happily.
Everyone raised their glasses of red wine and drank them all!
After Aiden's competition, the three of them brought Aiden over to celebrate.
Fiona looked at the handsome Aiden with a smile in her eyes, her gaze doting and excited. "Congratulations to our Aiden baby for winning first place in the piano competition."
"Thank you, Mommy! Aiden's success today is all thanks to Mommy." Aiden smiled at Fiona.
Fiona didn't like him calling her godmother, so he decided to call her Mommy to make her happy.
"Oh! Our Aiden baby is so sweet." Fiona smiled happily, her face slightly flushed after drinking, making her even more charming.
She lovingly kissed Aiden's little face, leaving a lipstick mark on his fair skin.
Aiden didn't mind, just smiling at his mother.
The song he won with today was written for his mother.
She and Grandma took care of the three of them siblings, and it was tough!
Alina affectionately ruffled his hair.
Looking at Fiona, she asked, "Fiona, when are you guys going back to Shadowfang City?"
Alina stood by the French window for a long time until her calves began to ache.
She turned around and walked towards the luggage.
Opening the suitcase, she hung the clothes one by one in the wardrobe.
Alina's favorite is dresses!
And all of them are designed by herself.
After putting away the clothes, she placed the daily necessities in the bathroom.
After everything was done, she prepared the clothes she would wear early tomorrow morning.
After bathing and blow-drying her hair, she climbed onto the 1.5-meter-wide bed, which was covered with a pink bedspread, and she smiled slightly, liking this color very much.
She picked up her phone from the bedside table.
After unlocking it, she saw a WeChat message from Anthony and clicked to listen to the voice message.
"Alina, I will stay in Jiang City branch for a month. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night after work."
Alina's lips curved into a soft smile, and she gently replied by voice message.
"Anthony, sure! I don't have many friends here either, but what's the reason for you to stay here for a month? It seems like there's no business for you here recently."
The message quickly came back.
"Alina, I have my company here. As the Alpha of the company, can't I come? Alright, you rest early. I'll come pick you up after work tomorrow. Good night!"
Alina smiled and sent back a message with a "good" and a goodnight emoji.
Then she opened the WeChat of the General Manager.
She sent a message over.
"General Manager Daniel, I have arrived in Jiang City and will be at the company on time tomorrow morning."
In the underground parking lot, Daniel had just parked the car. When he heard the message notification, he looked at it and smiled, "Adam, the branch's design director has arrived in Jiang City. He will attend the meeting on time tomorrow morning."
"That's good!" Adam's lips were tightly pursed, his facial expression was firm, and he was very serious about work.
He had been separated from the old Roscoe Group for several years, during which time, with his decisive and iron-handed methods, he had become the emperor of the business empire.
He dazzled the eyes of the board members who had withdrawn their stocks.
Now free from the old Roscoe Group, his days were much more relaxed.
He didn't have to go back to the old mansion to face those disgusting hypocritical faces.
He could also freely search for Alina and his mother.
